No, what it shows is how much control government wants in our lives and how every government agency must show that "it is doing something." A lead content of 20 isn't even bad, but the goal for the last 40 years is to continue to scale down permitted exposure to justify the existence of the agency--the local, county, state, and federal agencies that all have the same remit and must justify themselves.
Where they are now is in the normal range of non-exposure (remember, heavy metals are normal part of the world and get taken up by food naturally) and trying to regulate below what is even possible if one lives a life in the world.
